Water elemental became a god, ultimately becoming the master of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers

Chapter 238 The Grass Talisman is Completed, and Authority is Revived

The damaged Wohu Well will gradually recover to its original state over the next period of time.

Upon hearing this, Chen Shunan's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected these spoiled brats to be so respectful.

It's probably because he arranged for Zhang Xiangling to attend the meeting last time.

Sure enough, after accepting their gifts, they were actually grateful to us!

Chen Shunan immediately clasped his hands in thanks and said, "In that case, thank you, Brother Zhu!"

……

Chen Shunan left.

After a long while, the banquet came to an end.

At the bottom of the painted boat, in a quiet room.

Zhu Tao, shirtless, sat cross-legged inside a medicine cauldron.

The medicine cauldron was filled with the Five-Treasure Immortal Water.

Countless tiny bubbles rose from the bottom like living things, bursting quietly on the surface of the liquid and releasing a complex aroma that was so strong that it was almost impossible to dissolve.

Zhu Tao circulated his martial arts to absorb the medicinal power, his whole body trembling, his face showing pain, as if he would not be able to bear it any longer and would break his power and open his eyes.

Wu Wudi stood tall beside the medicine cauldron, his voice cold as he spoke.

"If you can't even endure this kind of pain, then you should just kill yourself. You're a piece of trash, unworthy to be my disciple, Wu Wudi!"

Zhu Tao's face was resolute, and his blood seemed to boil, emitting a deep, rumbling sound that could be clearly heard in the silent space.

Upon seeing this, Wu Wudi's face showed a hint of joy.

"Rivers roar like thunder, and your blood surges fiercely. If you can truly cultivate a three-stage martial body through postnatal means, with my guidance, there is a 15% chance you will break through to the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm!"

Three rounds of martial body training count as one-tenth.

Even if Wu Wudi were to devote all his resources to cultivating him, he could still achieve a great success.

If one can comprehend the martial will of Grandmaster Tie Yu from the Grandmaster's Manual, it can increase by another 20%!
35%?
That's already extremely high!
It was worth Wu Wudi going to great lengths to descend to the mortal realm and have a battle with Zhang Xuling, Pan Hu, and others!
"How's it going on your end?"

Wu Wudi looked at Wang Zhicheng beside him.

Wang Zhi bowed and said...

"With Chen Shunan acting as a go-between, he has already made contact with Zhang Xiangling and agreed to attend the snow viewing party, but the time and place will be decided by her."

"Alright. Once you seize the opportunity, don't hesitate. Immediately activate the 'Nanshan Love Seed Gu' to win her heart and secretly assist Zhu Tao in the Grandmaster's Record."

The Nanshan Love Gu is a unique Gu worm refined by immortals active in the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Miao territory.

One must find a sacred mountain that has not been visited for hundreds of years, collect its rotten soil, use it as a breeding ground for Gu seeds, and then cast a secret incantation on them. Once they emerge from their cocoons, they will transform into an invisible and colorless Gu worm.

The caster only needs to feed it with their own blood and essence beforehand, and then they can control it to bite someone at will.

Regardless of gender, once bitten by the Nanshan Love Gu, one will become completely devoted to the caster and deeply in love.

In previous years, it was the immortals of the Miao region who specially developed this in order to win the heart of their lovers.

Wang Zhicheng nodded and said, "Master Wu, rest assured, I will do my best."

Wang Zhicheng originally wanted to marry into a higher social class, but his luck changed later, and he married into the Zhang family.

As a result, Zhang Xiangling didn't appreciate his kindness and ignored his good intentions one after another.

Enraged, Wu Wudi confronted Wang Zhicheng.

Wu Wudi needs to utilize Wang Zhicheng's fame and also hopes that after entering the Grandmaster's Record, he will protect Zhu Tao and eliminate his competitors as much as possible.

Wang Zhicheng also needs the "Love Potion of Nanshan".

The two hit it off immediately.

Wu Wudi nodded slightly and gave Wang Zhicheng a deep look.

Wang Zhicheng was a scholar who passed the imperial examinations and possessed the spiritual roots for cultivating immortality.

But cultivators share a consensus.

Those who possess spiritual roots will find it difficult to become martial arts masters.

This is a limitation imposed by Heaven, and no one can overstep it.

Therefore, he was not worried that Wang Zhicheng would betray him or even harbor treacherous intentions during the participation in the Grandmaster's Record.

"By the way, that Shui San'er from earlier will probably also be included in the Grandmaster Records. You seem to know him quite well. Do you think he poses a threat?"

Suddenly, Wu Wudi recalled Chen Shunan from earlier and casually asked a question.

"Ha ha……"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhicheng paused for a moment, then smiled wryly.
"Master Wu is overthinking it. I still need him, and he's quite sensible to call me Brother Chen... But in the end, he's just a mere three-skinned fellow, a weaver of mats and a seller of shoes. Even if he were to be fortunate enough to annihilate the rebels, how could the light of a firefly compare to the brilliance of the moon?!"

"With me here, Commander Zhu need not worry, and Master Wu can rest assured!"

……

It wasn't until they returned to Wuqing County and saw the Five Wheels Eight Treasures Immortal Water being poured back into the cave at the bottom of the well, and the water-suppressing stone rhinoceros returning to its place, that they were able to see it again.

Manager Li, Xun Ye, Zhang Jing, and the others were still somewhat incredulous.

How did we suddenly stop having to hand over the Five-Treasure Immortal Water?

Manager Chen has such a lot of influence?

Even Zhu Tao, the commander of the Grand Canal Gang, showed him favor?!
Moreover, when the group left the pleasure boat, members of the canal gang cleared the way for them, pulling the ropes all the way to the dock on the shore before stopping.

This treatment is far superior to that of the other eight waterlogged areas!
Bubbling water bubbled up from the well, and a stream of pure water rushed up, washing away the impurities and residue on the surface.

Zhang Jinghe gripped the well's edge with both hands, staring blankly. Then, her face flushed with excitement, her voice rising several octaves, and she abruptly turned to Chen Shunan, cupping her hands in greeting.

"Brother Chen, you're a magnanimous person who doesn't hold grudges. I spoke without thinking before. If you're still upset about it..."

With a ripping sound, Zhang Jinghe tore open the clothes on her back, exposing her back, and knelt in front of Chen Shunan, saying...

"Zhang is willing to plead guilty and apologize!"

Zhang Jing and her subordinate Shui San'er were almost the most numerous among all the shopkeepers present.

The amount of food that people and horses ate each day was enormous.

Therefore, every day that Inoue takes a break, Zhang Jinghe gets a new tuft of white hair.

"You're too kind, Brother Zhang. There's no need for that. We're all just trying to get by in the same pot."

Chen Shunan helped him up and waved his hand magnanimously. "Let's just move on from this matter."

"Truly turning the page?"

Zhang Jinghe vaguely remembered that Chen Shunan was extremely petty, and it seemed that anyone who offended him would not have a good ending.

"A comeback!"

Chen Shunan said with certainty.

[Wish +6]

Afterwards, Chen Shunan went to the wells of Manager Li, Xun Ye, and others to return the Five-Treasure Divine Water.

Then another batch of grateful wishes were harvested.

In the following days, the business of Chen Shunan, Manager Li, Zhang Jinghe and others' wells not only did not decline but increased, and the number of customers buying water increased significantly.

After all, a dead Taoist friend will never die a poor Taoist.

The water quality of the wells owned by the other eight water shed owners was affected to varying degrees.

Customers naturally flocked to it, willing to pay extra to buy the fresh water.

In particular, Zhu Tao dominated the market share of the Five-Treasure Divine Water for a long time to come.

Those few gravel wells and crouching tiger wells that still yielded some produce naturally became highly sought-after items by many pharmacies in Wuqing County.

Market prices have increased several times over!
The other eight well-dwelling families were naturally both envious and resentful, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Chen Shunan was wielding the most righteous and invincible power of the Changbai Holy Dynasty—

Face Avenue.

They really didn't know what to say.

I wish I could take his place!
As a result, Chen Shunan's daily wishes and gains naturally increased as well.

Especially with the recent influx of refugees and the many destitute victims of the snow disaster, even the unscrupulous merchant Chen Shun'an, who sells Ran Yi'an Divine Water, was moved to tears and decided to dilute the daily gambling dew with less water.

Ten more cups were added, bringing the daily sales capacity to 30 cups of Five-Color Sweet Dew.

Chen Shunan also noticed that recently, the attention of all the major forces in Wuqing County seemed to be focused on the Grandmaster's Record in half a month, leaving them no time to pay attention to anything else.

This is the perfect time for him to quietly make a fortune.

We should seize this opportunity!

As a result, Chen Shunan's average daily wish points reached an astonishing nearly four hundred!
That's double what it was before!
The weak simply complain about their environment.

The strong never complain.

Because they are the ones who ruined the environment!
Although Chen Shunan cannot yet be considered a powerful and renowned immortal, he possesses considerable skill in turning misfortune into good fortune and seizing opportunities.

This is the old man's wisdom.

……

Four days later.

The deep water area at the three-way intersection.

Inside the water cave.

Chen Shunan sat coiled up like a snake, his five points facing the sky.

His mind focused on the Niwan acupoint between his eyebrows, and there were wisps of almost invisible, starlight-like rainbows emanating from there, bringing a wonderful, ethereal feeling.

Inside the Niwan acupoint, the primordial spirit also imitated Chen Shun'an's meditation posture, silently cultivating using the [North Star] method.

It wasn't until Chen Shunan felt a stabbing pain in his temples and his willpower waned to almost nothing that he slowly opened his eyes, a trace of weariness flashing across them.

The primordial spirit residing in the Niwan acupoint had only grown and condensed by an extremely faint trace. If Chen Shunan had not had absolute control over it, he would not have even noticed it.

As for Qi and blood, and the Flying Immortal Strength, there was no increase whatsoever, as if they had fallen into some kind of human limit.

After reaching the True Meaning Perfection realm, "Flesh Immortal" ceases to describe anything further, and offers no insight into how to break through to the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm.

It all depends on the martial arts practitioner's unbridled growth and free expression.

In fact, every former martial arts master faces a similar dilemma at this stage.

With no predecessors to draw upon, we can only proceed by trial and error.

They themselves are stones.

"It's so difficult! Even with my aptitude, cultivating the [Northern Star] method is as slow as a snail's pace. To reach the realm that Scholar Ma spoke of, where 'all joints and myriad spirits are solemnly in awe'... it would take at least ten years?!"

Chen Shunan's face suddenly darkened.

And this is just the first step, [Beichen], with two more steps to come: [Choutian] and [Luchen]!
Although it is an unimaginable speed for the rest of the world.

At least we have a clear target, and the goal is in sight!
But for Chen Shunan, it was far too slow!
The white snake, which was sitting on Chen Shun'an, vaguely sensed that the god seemed to be in a bad mood, so it controlled its body temperature and became icy cold and boneless.

Noticing the unusual sensation under his buttocks, Chen Shunan's expression softened.

Fortunately, my talent, Chen Shunan, is not limited to this!

With a thought, he summoned the precious proclamation from his mind.

【Grass Scroll (80/100)】

[Wish: 2017]

The accumulated wishes over four days, combined with what was obtained before, are enough to complete the herbal talisman.

and so……

"It's time to fully reclaim the authority of the Grass God and further unlock the talents of the Water Emperor!"

Chen Shunan went all in, transforming all his wishes into incense offerings, which he poured into the sacred text.

【Wish - 2000】

【Grass Register (Complete)】

[Power and Resurgence]

[Water Dividing: Parting waves and defining water boundaries. As a grass-root deity, you are no longer limited to dividing water for believers to accumulate wishes, but can also manage the water veins within a certain area.]

Those who receive water from you also incur karmic debt and can reclaim the water they drank.

And then, in the next instant.

The entire body of water was completely different in Chen Shunan's eyes!
